Has anyone had any experience with Laser Liposuction? I was thinking of getting it done since it requires only a local anesthetic. If so, what doctor did you go to or have a consultation with? Also, what areas did you have done? Thanks in advance for any responses!
I had lipotherme (like Smart-Lipo - just a newer/better machine) done on Friday and I already love it even though all the bruising and swelling has not gone down yet. I went to Dr. Herzog who was recommended by my GP. He and his staff are great. If anyone has any questions, I wouldn't mind sharing.
I've never had it done, but I've heard it's a wonderful procedure. Very effective. Dr. Caruth of Plano Aesthetics comes highly recommended. You can see before and after photos of patients who have used SmartLipo on his website and blog.

You should call Dr. Ricardo Meade. He is across from NorthPark Mall and an amazing plastic surgeon. I think he does the laser lipo.

Hi M.,
I just had Lipotherme done on my abdomen. I am three months out and couldn't be happier! I really researched and talked to a few specialists and the one I went with (Dr. Herzog)likes Lipotherme more than Smartlipo - he says he gets much better results with Lipotherme. What I loved was that because it is conscious sedation, I was only "out of commission" for the day and back to all normal activity by day three. You'll want to definitely take a Valium or Xanax and you'll need painkillers for 2 days - and a good compression garment. I am so happy that I'm returning to do my flanks in about a month.
I had smart lipo done on my neck/chin and back (above & below bra band) in April, and am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Raul Rodriguez at Rejuvenex Medical Spa, on Park Lane across from Northpark. I visited 3 offices, and found Dr. Rodriguez to be the most professional (i got the "marketing pitch" in the other 2, but Dr. Rodriguez did a full consult on my first visit). I also carefully considered smart lipo vs. cool lipo, and felt that the smart lipo technology was better for me. I was out of it for about 24 hours (really sleepy) but back to normal within 2-3 days.
Best of luck!
